You are part of an exceptional group who opted to step out of your comfort zone and into a new country and culture in order to enrich your CMU experience.

Congratulations on pursuing study abroad! We hope that your experience has continued to benefit you academically, personally and professionally.

“The scholarships that I was awarded guaranteed that I would be
able to study abroad cost and worry free. I think I was able to enjoy China to
its fullest because I did not have the shadow of debt hanging over me.”

“Studying abroad is one of the most eye opening and enriching personal
experiences.”

I received scholarships through the Honors
Program and the Study Abroad Office. Additionally, I was able to apply my
academic scholarship to expenses beyond tuition including program fees and
flights. Thanks to this assistance, my experience abroad was affordable.”

“When I finally applied for study
abroad, cost was a big worry. The scholarships made it possible. I heard I was
receiving the CMU Study Abroad Scholarship just after the semester ended. I was
so excited I actually started crying. That was when I realized, “This is
actually going to happen!”

“I received three scholarships to
help fund my study abroad. Without these scholarships I for sure would not
have been able to go.”
